The Germ and Home of Scarlet Fever


Science invades the realms of Death,
and carries the war into the enemy's
country, with successful progress that
now and then almost startles us out of the
customary and traditional view of NOR
tally. For one, we are confirmed day by
day in the expectation that science and
morality united will yet conquer I'M
natural mortality, and postpone natural
decline far beyond the present extreme of
longevity, the century. We can see no
reason why this should not be, and we can
see on every hand an aecelerating progress
! towards this result. One of the latest
steps is the discovery of the micrococeus of
scarlet fever and of clues to its genesis
and origin.
The occasion Of the discovery was an
investigation by DR.. Klein, of London,
into the connection of an epidemic of
scarlet fever in part of that city with a
certain milk supply that was observed to
have been received in common by all the
original subjects of the disease The
dairy farm from which the suspected milk
had been brought was closely investigated,
and it was proved that the milk had suf-
| fered no contamination from human sub
jects or insanitary surroundings; but
that the COWS were suffering from mild
form of disease closely resembling scarlet
| fever.
Following this clue, microscopic investi-
cations revealed peculiar microbe in
variably present in both the animal and
human subjects Of the disease, and invaria-
and man by incubation.
|
discovered in connection with condensed
milk that had fallen under suspicion in a
similar way. The same microbe, with
identical powers, was developed from this
source also.
A third confederation was found in
tracing a severe epidemic of scarlet fever
at Wimbledon, only three or four months
ago. This also was traced through the
milk to dairy farm, and the germs were
found to be the same as in the other cases,
and with the same infective powers, both
in the human and animal subjects, includ-
ing monkey which had succumbed TO a
free use of the milk, with clear symptoms
Of scarlet fever.
Having put its finger on the secret agent
| of this destructive disease, it is now open
| to science to trace it to its antecedents and
prevention.
The prevalence of tuberculosis also in
! cows opens fresh trail to the possible lair
OF the monster consumption. The init
mate connection known to exist between
both these diseases and confined fair sug-
gests the probability that man has inflicted
them upon this invaluable domesticated
| animal, and mediately upon himself by
the VIGOROUSLY close and filthy quarters in
which COWS have always been stabbed.
These and other zymotic diseases of
cattle, such as pleuro-pneumonia, now call
for advanced sanitary laws regulating the
care and treatment of the animals in all
cases.
1t should be made a penal ofense to
keep any COW or food animal in filthy or
unventilated stable or pen, such as those
generally used for the purpose by farmers,
with barely small hole in the wall for
throwing out ordure, and that usually
closed with slide in cold weather.

PHoSoGRAPH.-A German paper states
that "two young men in Munich, Mestern
and Helldober, technical electricians, have
patented a remarkable improvement in the
telephone. They have invented process
by which words and sentences cas be trans
ferre5 directly to a chemically prepared
paper A peculiar form of writing is en-
ployed by them, more akin TO photography
than 10 cur customary alphabetical SYM
bols." This is approaching the long-de-
sired instrument, practical phonograph
which will enable us to print In a legible
form our words as spoken, thus performing
by a single mechanical operation the work
of the lightning, stsnographer and type
writer. Let us hope this announcement
foreshadows such blessing TO humapity.

him to the Shasta Jail. The prisoner did every
thing in his power to convince them that they
had mistaken their man, but with no avail
They marched him down the road about six
miles and kept him over night, and the next
morning started with him to Shasta on foot.
